[EP 19 P2] Dr. Jerry Schubel

Tune in for part 2! Dr. Jerry Schubel, sits down with Greg Stone to talk about the significance of aquariums and how they are on the frontlines in dealing with the effects of climate change. Since his arrival at AOTP, his mandate is to transform the institution into something more than a fish tank. He feels there is a responsibility to lead the environmental movement because of the popularity and trust the public has with aquariums. More people go to aquariums and zoos than all sporting events combined. By creating partnerships with top scientists and the creative abilities of the aquarium staff, AOTP offers us an insight into climate change impact. The importance of engaging with marine life and its diversity is an important step in connecting us with the reality of species extinction through habitat destruction. Jerry and the aquarium’s mission of informing and engaging the public on the effects of climate change exemplify the significance of the role of the Aquarium of the Pacific in today’s world.
